Security Research Labs tested more than 1,200 Android phones from more than a dozen manufacturers. Researchers found a serious gap between patches the phone makers claimed were installed and those found on the device. Some Samsung phones correctly identified which patches were not installed, while others lacked features relevant to certain patches. Google also said that some phones lacked features necessary for certain patches, although SRL’s founder disputed this was widely the case. The research was presented at the Hack in the Box security conference in Germany this week.”]
